Vita nostra a novel5/19/2023 (I’m not much of a YA fan, myself.) Enter Vita NostraĪlexandra (Sasha) is a straight-A student and dutiful only child in a single-mom family who finds herself coerced into attending a technical college that she’d never heard of, located in a remote small town. That said, there is so much more going on, the story appeals to a wide range of readers. I guess we’d consider this book YA (young adult), as the main characters are late high-school to college-age students, concerned mostly about finding their place in the adult world, negotiating the balance of independence and support from family, and exploring friendships and romances with peers. (Boo! How long would it take to learn Russian, I wonder?) As far as I can tell, the rest of the series isn’t available in English as of yet. Vita Nostra is translated from Russian and is the first of a series. This blog first appeared on the Storytelling Blog on March 16, 2019. Harper Voyager published the book in English in 2018 Julia Meitov Hersey provided the translation. Vita Nostra by Marina and Sergey Dyachenkoĭue to recent events, the time seems ripe to re-run one of my earliest blogs, a review of the wonderful Vita Nostra, written in Russian by Ukrainian authors Marina and Sergey Dyachenko.
